MicroRNA-221 Modulates RSV Replication in Human Bronchial Epithelium by Targeting NGF Expression
17 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early-life infection by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with aberrant expression of the prototypical neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and its cognate receptors in human bronchial epithelium. However, the chain of events leading to this outcome, and its functional implications for the progression of the viral infection, has not been elucidated. This study sought to test the...
